Verenker clearly knows her stuff about terrariums! Her plant selections are perfect for creating beautiful and thriving miniature ecosystems inside containers.
Speaking about terrariums, she adds, “Several plants are well-suited for terrariums due to their small size and low maintenance requirements. Some popular choices are ferns, mosses, succulents like Echeveria, Haworthia, and small aloe varieties. Then there are air plants like Tillandsia which require no soil and can be creatively arranged."
